Iran’s National Orchestra to perform in Tehran on August 8
In the concert, Amirhossein Samiee and Hossein Alishapour will accompany Iran’s National Orchestra as vocalists.
The performance of "Golgoon," centered on national music and utilizing an authentic repertoire, provides another opportunity to hear exquisite Iranian musical works in an orchestral format.
Iran’s National Orchestra was founded in 1998 by Maestro Farhad Fakhreddini with the aim of performing valuable Iranian orchestral music. The orchestra was established with a balanced combination of Iranian instruments including santur, qanun, a group of tar and tarbass players, oud, and percussion instruments alongside the instruments of a symphony orchestra.
There are over 270 pieces of music in the National Orchestra's repertoire. The orchestra is a subsidiary of the Roudaki Artistic Cultural Foundation and currently operates under the permanent leadership of Homayoun Rahimian.
Iran’s National Orchestra began its activities this year with an approach of honoring great Iranian musicians and performing their works. The orchestra's first concert, titled "A Memory Lives Within Me," was held on April 21st in honor of Mohammad Sarir, a veteran musician and composer, led by Homayoun Rahimian and with Ali Tafreshi as vocalist, at Vahdat Hall.
The second concert of Iran’s National Orchestra, titled "A Gaze Lingering," featuring works by the late Homayoun Khorram, was also held on June 8 at Vahdat Hall, conducted by Homayoun Rahimian, with Mohammad Abdolhosseini as vocalist and Babak Shahraki performing a violin solo.
